What they diagnose

Pinning down nerve & muscle problems

Nerve conduction studies (NCS) measure the speed and strength of signals in your nerves, and EMG (electromyography) checks the electrical activity of muscles. Together they help diagnose:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome and other trapped nerves
  • Peripheral neuropathy (numbness, tingling, weakness) — e.g. from diabetes
  • Sciatica and nerve-root problems
  • Muscle disorders and unexplained weakness

How we run it

Assessed here, tested with our partners

We assess your symptoms (see our MSK service), then arrange NCS/EMG and specialist neurophysiology reporting through our partners. The tests take a little time and involve small electrical pulses and, for EMG, a fine needle — uncomfortable briefly but well tolerated.

This is an assess, scan and refer service. Where treatment or specialist management is needed, we arrange it promptly through our trusted consultant and imaging partners.

Clear answers, clear plan

What happens next

Results tell us exactly which nerve or muscle is affected and how badly — which guides treatment, from a wrist splint or injection to surgery. We explain the findings and arrange the right referral, whether that’s hand surgery, neurology or physiotherapy.

Still have a question? Our team can help you choose the right appointment.

What conditions do these tests diagnose?

Most commonly carpal tunnel syndrome, trapped nerves, sciatica and peripheral neuropathy, plus some muscle disorders.

Do the tests hurt?

Nerve conduction studies involve small electric pulses (a brief tingle). EMG uses a fine needle in the muscle, which is uncomfortable but quick and well tolerated.

Do I need a referral?

No — we assess you and arrange the right tests and specialist reporting through our partners.

What happens with the results?

We explain exactly which nerve or muscle is affected and arrange the right treatment or referral — hand surgery, neurology, injections or physiotherapy.

Will I see a GP or a consultant?

This clinic is GP-led: you are assessed by one of our GMC-registered doctors, who arranges tests where they are indicated and refers you on to the right specialist when that is the best next step.

How much will tests cost?

Consultation fees are published on our price list. Any test, scan or treatment is explained and priced before you go ahead, so there are no surprises.

How quickly can I be seen?

Appointments are often available within days, and we are open 7 days a week, 9am–7pm. Call 020 7916 0029 if your symptoms are worrying you and we will look for the earliest slot.

Will you write to my NHS GP?

With your consent, yes — we send a clear summary so your care stays joined up. If you would rather we did not, just tell us at booking.
